About
Helping you reset, refresh, and reimagine the home you live in.
At Begin Again, I help you create spaces that feel intentional, functional, and aligned with your next chapter. Whether it’s staging an occupied home, organizing a room that needs clarity, refreshing a space to better fit your lifestyle, or tackling small home projects, my goal is simple: thoughtful solutions that help your home feel cared for and truly yours.
Many clients reach out during life transitions — moving, downsizing, preparing a home for sale, or simply starting a new chapter — and I’m honored to help make those moments feel more manageable and hopeful.
Meet Shanon
Shanon has lived in more than 38 homes across Northern California and beyond, including seasons in Sweden, Sacramento, New Mexico, Southern Oregon, and San Francisco. Each move taught her how to create comfort, beauty, and order wherever she lands — an experience that now shapes the heart of Begin Again.
When she’s not working on home projects, organizing sessions, or helping clients navigate life transitions, you’ll likely find her cooking something delicious, spending time with her oversized dog Guidry, or creating beauty through her other ventures: Manifesting Dreams Marketing, The Wanderful Gourmet, & Stargazer Gourmet.
A lifelong explorer, Shanon has traveled to 17 countries and loves cooking, line dancing, cozy movie nights, backpacking, paddle boarding, and road-tripping through beautiful places.
She believes a home should support the life you’re living now — and sometimes all it takes is the right reset to begin again.
My Approach
- Thoughtful solutions that fit the way you actually live
- Respect for your home and belongings — no judgment, just support
- An eye for color, layout, and styling to help spaces feel cohesive
- Hands-on help that creates real progress, not just ideas
Guilty Pleasures:
Reading serial killer thrillers and listening to true crime podcasts — the darker the better. Balancing that out with something much more joyful: dining at world-class restaurants, savoring great food, and enjoying a good glass of wine.
Runs On:
Strong coffee, beautiful charcuterie boards, and meals shared around a table with people I love.
Current Obsessions:
Designing and creating costumes for the next holiday party — I love any excuse to be creative and a little over the top.
Design Style:
Modern Rustic Farmhouse — neutral tones layered with warm textures, natural elements, and thoughtful pops of color and sparkle. Cozy and relaxed, but still elegant and intentional.
Favorite Pieces:
An oversized gray sectional that’s perfect for family time and cozy movie nights. And my infrared sauna — the perfect place to relax tired muscles and recharge so the body (and mind) can Begin Again.
Favorite Projects:
To organize: a master bedroom closet or pantry — the transformation is always so satisfying.
To style: living and family rooms, since they’re truly the heart of the home.
And I especially love helping clients choose paint colors and palettes that bring a space together and make a home feel calm, cohesive, and beautifully refreshed.
